New Faculty

The Office of Faculty Affairs is committed to supporting your transition into the university community, or into your new role, as a faculty member. Our programs for new and new(ish) faculty are designed specifically for faculty from their first year (new) to third year (newish), or until they are reappointed, whichever is later.

What We Offer

We provide ongoing development opportunities that span your first few years. Our goal is to help you:

  • Connect with those who will help you strengthen your teaching and research
  • Understand your role within the university
  • Connect with colleagues across departments
  • Build a strong foundation for long-term success
  • Create and maintain a work-life balance

We do this through a variety of programs, including a robust orientation program and through social events and other opportunities for you to connect with your peers.

You may also find that the Human Resources: Information for New Employees steps will help you get all your important employment paperwork in order.
